We’ve noticed that a lot of people are thinking card tricks over video chat need to include a lot of procedure. But that doesn’t have to be the case. In this post we (Steve and Will) offer just one example.

A Punchy Opener: Any Card on Back.
The spectator names any card. You immediately turn around and it is safety-pinned to your back. A lightning-fast, interactive opener!
While it appears that the performer is standing in an empty room, an assistant is actually kneeling down behind them, with a deck of cards spread out on the floor, in new-deck order. Perspective works to your advantage here... It is interesting to note that it feels like it would not be possible for an off-screen assistant to get anywhere near your back.
The special pin/clip is shown below.
It has a large piece of double-sided tape on the back, so your assistant can easily insert the right card into the clip, reach up behind your back and stick it there, between your shoulders. Simple.
All they have to do is locate the right card in the spread, and they can then load it and get it in place in seconds. All you do is spin around and smile.
